My mission is to give voice to the silenced and hope to the unheard. Through raw truth and unflinching honesty, I share my journey of surviving domestic violence as a gay man in a same-sex relationship, a narrative that too often goes untold. I write to break the silence surrounding abuse, especially for male and LGBTQ+ victims, and to challenge the stigma that keeps so many trapped in fear and shame.
This book is not just my story; it’s a testament to the resilience of all survivors. I am committed to creating a more compassionate, informed world, one where abuse is not hidden behind closed doors, and where healing is possible, no matter how dark the past. By speaking my truth, I hope to empower others to find their own voice, choose themselves, and know that survival is not weakness. It is a powerful act of reclaiming your life.
